Shocked tweeted on Sunday, “What does
everybody at @yoshi's want to hear tonight? Truth? Or reality?”
followed about an hour later with, “Truth is leading to painful
confrontation.”

A Change.org
petition calling on venues to cancel Shocked's upcoming shows quickly
racked up more than 3,000 signatures.

“Freedom of speech and artistic
expression are critically important, but this isn't free speech,”
the petition states. “This is hate speech.”

And by Tuesday, many venues had
responded by canceling appearances, including the Telluride Bluegrass
Festival, four venues in California, two in Colorado, and one each in
Oregon, Washington and Illinois.
